I just put my motor back together with new bearings ,piston and rings and its running great. I rode it about a mile and I dont see any smoke. I did bleed the oil lines. When I first started it there was some smoke. After the test run there is none. Whats the easy way to see if oil is coming out of the pump. I pulled the oil line off the intake while it was running and I didn't see mush come out, maybe a drop in 30 seconds. Thanks guys.

You did the right thing by bleeding the lines B-) the amount of oil that comes out of the pump is very small so that sounds about the right amount of oil. And your spree wont smoke under normal operation unless there is excess oil from somewhere
